Animated Map Engine for Ruby (Alpha Preview)

by Giménez Silva Germán Alberto —

Full article and demo: https://rubystacknews.com/2026/01/15/ruby-now-has-an-animated-map-engine-alpha-preview/

We’re introducing a new animated map engine built on top of ruby-libgd and libgd-gis.

It allows Ruby applications to render real basemaps, draw GIS layers, and animate moving objects (cars, routes, planes) entirely on the backend — no JavaScript or WebGL required.

This is currently available as an alpha preview ahead of the upcoming ruby-libgd 0.2.3 and next libgd-gis releases.
